I could find no information on the exact amount Charles Howard paid his jockeys but they usually get a percentage of the purse. It differs depending on the contract between the owners and the individual jockeys. The average is %5 to %15 of the purse. At the time of his retirement Seabiscuit's earnings were almost 1/2 million dollars, which was an incredible amount of money for the time. This will give you an idea of what his riders earned.
actually seabiscuit had 2 jockeys. the main jockey was red Polard. but sense red got injurned twice (once in his arm and ribs, the second in his leg) charles howard (seabiscuit's owner) had to call in a second jockey. this jockey was named George (the iceman) Woolf. the last race that seabiscuit ran (he won) red polard was his jockey. hoped the answer helped!
Seabiscuits biggest rivals are War Admiral the son of the great Man O' War and Ligaroti to name a few.
The highest paid horse racing jockey is Javier Castellano who earns approximately 1,834,945 dollars per year. The second highest paid jockey is Joel Rosario.
jockeys always get paid. if they ride a horse in a race then they get paid if they are on the horse they are paid unless they are in trainging
A bay, like himself.
Most disc jockeys make between $5,000 and $40,000. The exact amount depends on the type of disc jockey, the disc jockeys popularity, the location of the disc jockey, type of payment, and whether the disc jockey is a hobbyist. For instance, a mobile disc jockey may be paid $800 for one performance, but they may only perform twice a month. Meanwhile, a club disc jockey may be paid $10/hour but with a full time position, the club disc jockey would be making just as much as a mobile disc jockey without including tips. Also take into account that a mobile disc jockey has expenses that a club disc jockey doesn't and you'll see that the club disc jockey in my example actually make more that the mobile disc jockey.
Do you mean being a jockey? It varies based on experience.
* a jockey is paid by a breeder to ride. They can be paid hundreds of dollars and even more. If they win they can win hundreds of thousands and way more. * Actually This is how it is: Jockeys get picked by the owner of the horses to ride their horses in a race. The Trainer of the horse helps make that decision. Whatever the purse is like say 100,000 for the race if the jockey wins the trainer gets some of the money the breeder gets some of the money and the jockey gets some of the money.
his name was George Woolf nicknamed "The Ice Man"
Jockey's pay for the Kentucky Derby varies. The win, place and show riders get a percentage of whatever the owners winnings are. In the 2010 race the first place jockey grossed around $142,000. After his expenses are paid, that dropped to around $100,00, and that was before taxes were taken out. If the jockey does not win, their pay goes down dramatically. Second place received around $20,000 and third place received around $10,000. Jockeys who did not place were paid much, much less than that.
